Variable Entry Wizard.

Hello my dear Gurus friends.
I have a requirement in queries. The idea is to display all the characteristics available in the cube at the beginning of the query in form of variables, in order to select the different values by the user, but this they would like to be as a wizard, I mean, they want the variables of each characteristic to appear individually.
Any idea would be very appreciated and i'm going to assign many points.
Thanks in advanced.

Hi,
I was talking about the usage of Char variable with replacement path: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/2c/78a03c1178ad2ce10000000a114084/content.htm
Here is causes Query1 to execute in the background anf then provides the results to Query2, so although the users just see the Query2, the variable screen of both queries pops up separately. But with 10 chars to appear one by one, I am not sure if it would be a good idea to create 10 queries and link them up this way.
Would your users be more comfortable with a web report? Or any significant reason why you need the variables one by one?

Delete button in variable entry screen

Hi guys,
is it possible to get the delete button icon for multiple
single values of a characteristic like we get for variable entry
on variable node in web application scenario.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
urgent!

sorry I misunderstood you question...
I've never seen a "delete" button for deleteing an entry in a multiple variable....
The user has to delete the input box and then press the check button...
Otherwise you'll have to implement your own selection variable screen, I guess; since this screen is SAP standard, good luck!
hope this helps,
Olviier.

Issue with Variable Entry in BI 7.0

Hi,
I am having an issue with the variable entry in BI 7.0 Version. Here is a brief background.
--- In BW 3.x, when we define a variable with <b>Single Value Option</b>, you can enter the value manually in the pop-up selection screen or select from the dropdown of possible values.
---But in 7.0 when i try to enter the value manually in the selection screen its opening the dropdown list, and is not giving me the option to enter a value manually. I am entering a valid single value in selection.
Is this a bug or do i have to make any specific settings to correct my issue?

When the selection screen pops up choose the KEY only function on the TOOLS on the top right corner of the screen. Then you will be able to enter the values manually.
Hope this helps.

Variable entry issue when the query is executed on the WEB

Hi,
       When I execute a 2004S query on the WEB,In the variable entry screen , even if I specify for example 'A' for a variable , the 'A' is completly ignored and it returns all the values.So there is a problem with '*'.
        If I execute the same query in the Analyser, '*' is considered while returning the results.
        Anyone having similar issue.

Problem with Variable Entry Screen

Hello All,
We upgraded our development systems to NW2004s and came across the following issue:
All our Bex queries have restricted time characteristics with variables entries. When we execute a query it should pop-up the variable selection screen for us to enter the restriction values but the query is ignoring Variable restriction screen and taking into consideration everything. The same query works fine in Prod., which is still in 3.1.
Did anyone come across this situation kind of situation? It did not pop-up any type of error and we are in SPS10
Thanks in Advance,

We fixed the "Variable Screen not appearing" problem by adding following objects to our users.
1) Business Explorer - BEx Web Templates (NW 7.0+) S_RS_BTMP
2) Business Explorer - Individual Tools S_RS_TOOLS
3) Business Explorer - Data Access Services S_RS_DAS

How to link the variable entry with the planning function execution

Hi All,
I am new to IP , we have a requirement where the user enters the value 2008 for a variable year. Then we are supposed to copy the same combinations for the next four years against which the user will be able to input the key figure values. But i have only 2008 data in the cube, so i need to generate new records for the same characteristic combinations as present for 2008 for the next four years. I am planning to use a copy function for this but how can i trigger this planning function once the user enters the value for the year variable. I want the planning function to get executed once the user clicks OK after the variable entry. Request your valuable inputs on the same.

Hi Tilak,
for this u have an option of executing the planning sequence when the web template loads ie. after the variable screen.
open the WAD.
go to the properties of Web Template web item. Under the section standard action of the webtemplate, we have a n option to include planning functions under action before rendering.
If u include your planning sequence in this this will get executed every time the layout loads.
guess this is usefull to u.
Regards.
Shafi.

Variable Entry Style Sheet (CSS)

The Web template uses the style sheet from the MIME repository:
<link href=/sap/bw/mime/BEx/StyleSheets/BWReports.css type=text/css rel=stylesheet>
But, when the variable entry screen is displayed when executing the query it is not formatted and uses this style sheet:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="OWNER">
What is missing or needs to be configured so that the variable entry page uses the same style sheet as the Web template?
Thanks for the help in advance.

i had ot type out in the file:css in order for it to be imported into DW i dont know why its doing that.
Did you define a local site folder in DW before you begain your project?

This critical first step allows DW to manage your site links and assets for you. Without a local site folder definition, many of DW's advanced features won't work.

Variable entry for replacement path

Hi Guys,
This is my scenario. I have query A which uses a set of results from query B via replacement path. I have a mandatory variable entry for Query A which I have used also for query B. I was under the impression that when I made a user entry for the variable for query A, that value would be copied over to query B and perform the filtering in Query B too. Is this not the case.
If I need to perform this operation, i.e use the value that I enter for variable entry in Query A in Query B, how can I do that?
Thanks,
Doniv

Hello Doniv,
we are using this scenario in our queries too, if we define the same variable in the query A and B,
this value is used for the selection in the query B.
Did you tried to search in OSS? (this could be the SAP error)

Variable entry screen for query doesnt show selection values.

Hi,
I've created a query with date varibale Quarter From-To. When i execute this query, the variable entry screen pops up but when i try to select values just shows ??? and not the text.
if i run the same query in RSRT the variable entry screen pops up but here the selection values are present for me to choose from.
can anyone tell why the values arent showing when the query is executed.
Thanks

yes, it seems to be a problem with NetWeaver BI BEx Java Web runtime as it works in RSRT and web analyzer. Found a note on marketplace note 125357 - No values displayed for attributes in input help but this did not resolve issue.
A call has been raised now as it seems to be a product fault

Variable entry in Web application designer

Hi,
In the Variable entry screen in the Web app designer on executing a template, when I open the drop down menu for possible values, it leads to two more new variable entry screens wherein the selected values are populated instead of the original entry screen. This repeats for every additional variable entry selection, including the from and to selections. Any idea how this can be fixed? We are on SP7.
Thanks.

Hi,
I solved this by changing the configuration in the WAD by changing the open dialogues in new window to 'do not open window'.

Variable entry screen from BW in webdynpro

Hi all,
    can I use the variable entry screen for a BEx query to access all the user inputted values in a webdynpro application.
    I want to launch this screen from within the webdynpro application, and once the user presses "Execute", I want all the user selections back in the application.
    Is this possible at all?
Thanks,
Satyajit.

Hi Satyajit,
Since the variable entry screen orignates from the BI system in conjunction with a web template it cannot be invoked separately. Do you plan to run the web application within a Web Dynpro application (i.e. an iFrame)? One option would be to use the BI Java SDK to populate the values in a user selection screen and then use the user's selection to execute a query or MDX statement. Of course you Web Dynpro app is responsible for rendering the result set.
Regards,
Oliver

History of user Input values in variable entry screen

Hi Experts,
I have a small issue. I have a variable entry screen where I select values from the list. I can always see the history of variable values I input earlier when I click on the dropdown box. For example the country code displays all my previous inputs.
Similar to the web browsers history.
Not the same case with Fiscal Year/Period. I do the same type of selection from the combo box for example 12.2006. I give different values again like 1.2007, 2.2007 etc and run the report several times. But it doesn't show up the history of my previous entries unlike the country code.
Kindly help, points assured.
Thanks,
Raj.

What we've done isn't pretty, and I'm hoping for a better solution.
We've developed 3 ODSs that we've exported a full list of all attributes and their values to. Each ODS is identical.
We've then created an InfoSet to link the Product Cube to each of the 3 ODSs. We can then add 3 variables to the query representing each ODSs. Since the ODS holds over half a million attributes, we limited it to 3 since it takes 30 minutes to run.
It's not elegant, it's not pretty, and I'm sure it's not optimal. I'm hoping someone can describe a better solution.

Selection option for variable entry in BEx in 2004s

Hi All,
Have any of you noticed that the selection option functionality for variable entry while creating a variable does not allow wild card entry,Even though you create the variable with selection option as input.
In 3.5 we had option the option "contains the pattern " but in 2004s its not available in the variable entry screen.

Hello Guys,
When I posted this thread we were upgrading to SP11, now I am in the middle of another upgrade (SP15) and I still notice that wild card option is yet to be made available for a variable of type selection option.
Back then I had sent a message to SAP and was told that the functionality would be rolled out in new SP's. I am very curious as too how others are handling this problem, as they are bound to be reports for which such variables are a must.
P.S - The option has been made available

2 queries sharing 1 variable entry screen

We have 2 queries in a workbook which use identical user-entered variants. Is there a way to have the user only fill in the variants once for both queries.
Thanks,
Ron

Hi,
Yes. you can. Bex will bring the popup for variable entry for the Query which is last inserted.
Some say-> your have insert Query1 and then Query2.
The the popup for Query2 with appear first and user make a variant there and save it. Now i am assuming that you have make sure that you are using the same variables for both query..then there will be no popup and the whatever values which user have entered in variant of Query2 which will taken by Query2 also.
Fews points to keep in mind->
1) Make sure that you are using the same variables (check techinal names of variables) in Query 2 as you have in Query 1.
2) To refresh all queries with a single refresh screen, the user can select any cell in the workbook that is NOT part of the query (to visualize which cells are part of a query, use the Analyzer toolbar and select Layout >> Mark queries on worksheet), then select the refresh button. You will see a message box that says "No query is selected. Do you want to refresh all queries in the workbook?". If you select Yes, all queries will refresh with one refresh screen (assuming all queries have identical variables).
Regards,
San!
